City Faces Deficit as Finance Committee Seeks October Funds
The finance committee projects a deficit around ten thousand dollars as it prepares the October apportionment. Incomplete departmental revenue returns push the shortfall higher, though Mayor Woodward and city officials expect the total not to greatly exceed the estimate. Tax receipts up to September show increases but fall short of the year’s target, with general taxes at $866,814.27 and other revenues listed, while tax deeds total $45,000 with $25 to be collected later. Departments expect modest October requests, with the school board seeking $6,000 to end double sessions and the police board requesting more after spending all allotted funds.
